by Mark Rawlinson (Author)
Charles Sheeler was the poet of the machine age. Photographer of the Ford Motor Company and founder of the painting movement Precisionism, he is remembered as a promoter of - and apologist for - the industrialised capitalist ethic. This book argues that his true relationship to progress was negative, his 'precisionism' both skewed and imprecise.
